    Abstract of proposed collection: Under 22 United States Code 
(U.S.C.)

[[Page 59265]]

Section 211a et seq. and Executive Order 11295 (August 5, 1966), the 
Secretary of State issues U.S. passports to U.S. citizens and non-
citizen nationals. When the bearer of a valid U.S. passport applies for 
a new passport with corrected personal data or when the bearer of a 
limited validity passport applies for a fully-valid replacement 
passport, the Department must confirm the applicant's identity and 
eligibility before the Department can issue the new passport to the 
applicant. Form DS-5504 requests information needed to determine 
whether the applicant is eligible to receive this service in accordance 
with the requirements of Title III of the Immigration and Nationality 
Act (INA) (U.S.C. 1402-1504), the regulations at 22 CFR parts 50 and 
51, and other applicable treaties and laws.
    Methodology: Passport applicants can either download the DS-5504 
from the internet or obtain one from an Acceptance Facility/Passport 
Agency. The form must be completed, signed, and submitted along with 
the applicant's valid U.S. passport and supporting documents for 
corrective action.
    Additional Information: The Privacy Act statement has been amended 
to clarify that an applicant's failure to provide his or her Social 
Security number may result in the denial of an application, consistent 
with 22 U.S.C. 2714a(f) which authorizes the Department to deny U.S. 
passport applications when the applicant failed to include his or her 
Social Security number. These requirements and the underlying legal 
authorities are further described on page 3 of the instruction titled 
``Federal Tax Law'' which has also been amended to include a reference 
to 22 U.S.C. 2714a(f).
    Additionally, the proposed renewal of form DS-5504 includes updated 
instruction regarding the eyeglass policy change, which prohibits 
applicants from wearing eyeglasses in passport photographs, unless the 
applicant presents a signed statement from a doctor demonstrating that 
the glasses must be worn due to medical reasons. The form also states 
that passport photos may include hats or head coverings only when they 
are worn continuously as part of recognized, traditional religious 
attire, or when the hat or head covering is worn for medical purposes 
as stated by a doctor in a signed statement.

    Dated: August 17, 2016.
Brenda S. Sprague,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Passport Services, Bureau of Consular 
Affairs, Department of State.
